“I just want a better life.”

"I just want more money."

Statements like this SOUND good, but what do they actually mean?

What does better look like?
How much is more?

Words like “better” and “more” are meaningless unless you define them.

Do you want:

  • $5,000 in your savings account?

  • To be debt free?

  • To make 20% more?

  • To pay cash for a car?

These goals are useful because they are specific. It’s more obvious what kinds of actions will lead to achieving these, and it’s clear when the goals have been reached.

Want to learn how to set meaningful, motivating, useful goals and plans? Specificity creates success.
